Vindicate Me! (When Life is Unjust)

VINDICATE  ME

Psalm 26:1-11

Vindicate  me, O YAHUAH,

For I have walked in my integrity

I have also trusted in You

I shall not slip!

Examine and prove me, O YAHUAH,

Try my mind and my heart

I have walked in Your Truth

I shall not slip!

Vindicte me!  Vindicate me!

Vindicate me, O YAHUAH,

I’ve not sat with idolatrous mortals

Nor will I mind the hypocrites

I shall not slip!

Redeem me with mercy, O YAHUAH,

For I sat not with  the wicked

I have walked in Your Truth

I shall not slip!

Vindicate me!  Vindicate me!

For Your lovingkindness

Is before my eyes

I have loved the habitation of Your House

I’ll go and proclaim

With the voice of thanksgiving

Your Name, the Name of Yahuah

Your Name, the Name of Yahuah

And tell of all Your wondrous works!

I will praise all Your wondrous works!

While You vindicate me

Vindicate me!

Vindicate me, O YAHUAH,

I’ve hated deeds of evildoers

Their sinister schemes and bribes

I shall not slip!

Gather not my soul with sinners

YAHUAH be merciful to me

For I have walked in Your Truth

I shall not slip!

Vindicate me!  Vindicate me!

For Your lovingkindness

Is before my eyes

I have loved the habitation of Your House

I’ll go and proclaim

With the voice of thanksgiving

Your Name, the Name of Yahuah

Your Name, the Name of Yahuah

And tell of all Your wondrous works!

I will praise all Your wondrous works!

While You vindicate me

Vindicate me!

Vindicate me!

PSALM    26  (KJV)

1  Vindicate me, O YAHUAH; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in YAHUAH; therefore I shall not slip.

² Examine me, O YAHUAH, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

³ For Thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in Thy truth.

⁴ I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

⁵ I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

⁶ I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass Thine altar, O YAHUAH:

⁷ That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

⁸  YAHUAH, I have loved the habitation of Thy House, and the place where Thine honour dwelleth.

⁹ Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

¹⁰ In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

¹¹ But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, O YAHUAH, and be merciful unto me.
